We are developing a shared vision for the northern Bellarine coast that will guide the future management of our coastal and marine environment, inspiring and providing common direction for everyone involved in caring for our coast.

This will inform the Coastal and Marine Management Plan and the Coastal Adaptation Plan.

The 15-year vision for the Victorian marine and coastal environments, as articulated in the Marine and Coastal Policy is:
"a healthy, dynamic and biodiverse marine and coastal environment that is valued in its own right, and that benefits the Victorian community, now and in the future"

Our current vision for the northern Bellarine coastal reserve, as articulated in the Northern Bellarine Coastal and Marine Management Plan 2020-25 is:
